A BLACK HOLE.
How the supreme Court rs
Housed In Los Angeles.

How the supreme Court is
Housed In Los Angeles.
EDITORS HERALD.-The Supreme
Court of the State is now in session in
Los Angeles. The court is a grave,
decorous, intellectual-looking body of
men, who seem worthy to fill their
high and responsible positions as
Justices of the Supreme judnatory of
the great and wealthy State of Cali
fornia. The court holds its sessions
in a small dingy room in the Downey
Block over the Commercial Restau-
rant. The fumes from the restaurant
Kitchens, mingled with other odors,
the noise of clashing pots and pans
and Gathering plates, the sonorous
periods of some members of the
Southern California bar and the occa-
sional grave utterance of one of the
Judges create rather discordant and
heterogeneous combination of scents
and sounds in the court room of the
highest judicial forum of the
great and wealthy State of California.
Curiosity led me into the court room
one day last week and l found some
San Bernardino lawyers arguing an
appeal from the Superior Court of
that county, in which claim to 400
hogs was involved. 1t seemed to me
fit place to contend for hogs. l said
above that the court was held in
"dingy room," should more proper
ly have described it as dirty hole.
The room has once been hard-fin-
ished but the plastering is cracked
and broken, the lath is exposed in
places, and where it is sound, is fly
specked and discolored the dirty floor
had on it two or three strips of dirty
mating; half dozen windsor chairs
are scattered around it,
"Fit receptacles for the indurated hams of
Galley Slaves;"
A tin horse bucket is in one corner
just over Judge Temples head-and
tin cup is fastened to the wall with
an iron chain. Il suppose this is
where they take the Judges to drink y
The room and its fitting up is dis
grace to the great and wealthy State
of California, and is calculated to bring
the court into contempt. This room
is used by the court less than one
month and its rental ought not to be
more than $40. All of which is paid
for by the great and wealthy State of
California.
But then suppose the officers who
hire and furnish it think anything is
good enough for Southern California.
would like to know how this court
room and fitting up compares with the
room of the court in Sacramento and
San Francisco.
The Supreme Court meets here again
in April next. Would it not be we'll,
Mr.. Editors, to start a subscription
paper to get decent quarters for it at
its next session in Southern California? ?
We contribute little in the way of tax
es, and the State seems SO poor that it
would be an act of charity to pass
around the hat for the great and
wealthy State of California. CIvIs.

TWO INSANE PEOPLE.
Guy w. VintOn and Mrs. Foster
Become Violent.

Guy w. VintOn and Mrs. Foster
Become Violent.
Guy w. Vinton, the insane real es-
tate dealer of Fort street who was ar
rested on Monday night for insanity,
had a very violent paroxysm yester-
day. He is man of splendid ply
sique and in his rage he broke the
door of his cell as easily as if it were a
Matchbox. He was secured and
placed in one of the cells where he
is now in quieter frame OF mind.
Mr.. Vinton's friends in the East have
telegraphed that they will come out to
take charge OF him. Insanity is he
reditary in the family, Vinton's moth
er now being in the insane asylum at
Detroit, Michigan.
Mrs. Foster, German lady OF
Sainsevaine street, the wife OF ce-
ment sidewalk maker, was found wan
dering in the Arroyo Seco yesterday
and out of her mind. She was arrest
ed by Officer Dunn who handcuffed
her because she offered resistance.
She was quite rational yesterday af-
ternoon, but is crazy on religion by
fits and starts. Mrs. Foster is now in
the crazy cell of the county Jail await
ing examination.

An Unsuccessful Attempt to
Leave the Prison.
Joe Grant, alias Joe Smith, and
Mike Griffith, alias Frisco Micky,
were arrested by the police Sunday
night on the information that they
were wanted for "a robbery COM
mitted in San Bernardino. No
charge was registered against them
until Monday morning, when
the charge of grand larceny was
placed against their names. Some of
their friends sued out a writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Gardiner Monday
afternoon. The writ was heard yester-
day morning and the prisoners were
discharged, only to be Immediately re-
arrested on charge of robbery. They
were in the afternoon arraigned before
Justice Taney, and their preliminary
examination set for next Thursday at
5 O'Clock, with bail at $500 each. Not
being able to give bonds tt ey we're re-

CRIMINALITIES.
No New Development in
the Murder Case.
A BLAZE IN CHINATOWN.
Various Happenings in the Courts
and ON the Streets.-MinOr
Notes.

Miss Hattie Woolsteen has greatly
Improved since her removal to the
County Jail, though her stomach is
still in a greatly disordered condition.
She is able to retain small quantities
of liquid food now, and will soon be
able to enjoy her meals once more.
Colonel Il. Wiley Wells was seen yes
terday with respect to his client and
said: ~ saw Miss Hattie this morn
ing. She positively denies ever hav-
ing made a confession of guilt to any
one, and she told me this morning that
she absolutely knows nothing about
the manner in which Harlan lost his
life. l believe her statements. Miss
Minnie when shown the story pub
lished in the HERALD yesterday, in
which it is said that John H. Oliver
had killed the dentist, told one of the
turkeys that she knew no such man,
and that he was not her first cousin.
Thus it will be seen that the Harlan
murder remains as mysterious as ever.
Sergeant Jeffries last night
still maintained that Hattie
had first admitted that Harlan had
suicided and then again said that she
had killed him. He is now satisfied
that there was third party, male,
engaged in the killing, and that he is
yet in the city. Hon. S. NJ. White
was interviewed last night and asked
if his legal services had been retained
in favor of Miss Woolstein. He ad-
mitted that to a certain extent they
had, but being in hurry could not
stop to explain what was expected of
him.
Officer Fitch, one OF the policemen
who took care of Miss Woolsteen dur
ing her Incarceration in the Chief of
Policies office, last night said: "Miss
Hattie never admitted to me that she
killed Harlan, but she told me that he
committed suicide while in her COM
pany. You may depend that she will
never be convicted OF anything else
than firing Mrs. Barbey's barn, if she
ever is found guilty of anything at all.
Whatever the girl admitted was stated
under such circumstances that the
evidence cannot be allowed in the
Superior Court against her,"

EASTERN SKEPTICISM.
They Doubt the Statements Teld
of California.


Captain Blanding, in the course OF
brief conversation held with a
HERALD reporter at the Nadeau Mon
day night, said that when telling the
Eastern people of the many wonders
Of California, and especially when he
dwelt upon the prodigious size at
tanned by various Towering plants,
which in that country could only be
raised by the most careful hot-house
cultivation, his veracity was in many
instances questioned.
At one time when relating to circle
of friends the fact that he had seen a
geranium in the yard of suburban
residence which had attained a height
which equaled that Of the house, be-
ing some nine or ten feet, he was
laughed at by his hearers, who cried,
"Oh! That is only one of those Cali
fornia stories"
To illustrate to them that they enter
tanned too exalted opinions of their
country, the captain related to them
the following story: "a bold but
erratic youth had conceived the lofty
idea of seeking his fortune
in the country across the sea
and had accordingly left his old moth
ber, ut after few years spent in aim
less wandering in the new land he
had returned, and in relating the
sights he had seen in his voyage
across the ocean said, "Why mother,
| saw fish which actually rose from
the water and hew." To which his
mother replied, Impossible my son ::
| fear that your experience in the new
world has led you to have less regard
for the truth"
He then related another instance in
which he averred that when crossing
the Red Sea, in hoisting the anchor
after stop, one of the wheels of one
of Pharo's chariots had been brought
to the surface on the prongs of the an
chor, when the aged lady exclaimed,
"Why, l know that to be true, my
son, for it is in the Bible"
She thought that simply because
the fish story was not in the Bible it
was untrue, (Which illustrates most
admirably" continued the Captain,
"the views entertained by Fasteners
of California. They think that any
thing said of it cannot possibly be
true unless it is true of their own
country.

Freight Train Dftc ed.

Freight train No. "a, which left this
city early yesterday morning in charge
OF Conductor Hamble, proceeded with
out mishap to a point about four miles
north of Keen, at which point the
track spread and the engine, which
was proceeding at an ordinary rate of
speed, was derailed. The engine and
sixteen cars, some OF which were
loaded, were ditched, but as far as
could be learned were not totally de
stroyed.
Conductor Hamble was injured, but
not seriously, and brakeman was
also injured about the head in at
tempting to jump from the moving
train.

story, sentenced him to two years in

FIRE IN CHINATOWN.
A Stable and Une Horse Des.

troyed by the Flames.
At s o'clock last evening "lurid
glare" was seen in the direction Of
Chinatown and shortly afterwards the
fire bell resounded over the city, at
tracing the attention Of the pleasure
seekers who throng the streets after
their days toll. The fire proved to be
in a stable at the back of the Ala
meda-street Chinese theatre and was
reached aftetstraversing narrow alley
which runs parallel with Also and
Marchessault streets. The stable was
the property of Chinaman engaged
in hauling freight from the depot, and
at the time the fire broke out five
horses were domiciled therein, rest
ing after their days labor. The
affrighted Mongolian aided by some
Celestial compatriots rushed in to their
rescue and succeeded in removing
four of the terror-stricken animals but
ere the fifth could be released
from its lettering the burn
ing wall had fallen in and ingress was
impossible. The fire company arrived
on the scene and turned its attention
to saving the surrounding property
as the wooden barn was
already beyond redemption. The hub
bub was indescribable as the heathens
rushed in and ont of the adjacent
houses, removing therefrom every
item of personal property, which was
piled in the middle of the street and
guarded by police from any would-be
pilferers. In the meantime a crowd
of some 1000 or 5000 idlers had assem-
bled to witness the confagration, but
beyond the charred remains of the
incinerated horse plainly observable
amid the lighted ruins there was little
to attract attention. The fire was ex-
tinguished within thirty minutes after
the flames were first noticed, and the
total amount of damage done will
probably not exceed $3.50. No clue as
to the origin of the fire can be obtained
but it is believed that an unextin-
guished match carelessly thrown onto
a pile Of hay was the cause OF the
calamity.
at the fire behind the Chinese
theater last night couple of police
men distinguished themselves greatly.
One of them tore the coat of Henry
Scherer, foreman of Company No. 3,
and told him that he did not "care a
cent" about what he intended to do.
but that if he went on a certain errand
which had been entrusted to him by
the Chief Engineer he would club
him. The other blue-coated guardian,
finding that Dan Leahy, truckman,
did not respect his commands, pulled
off his coat and star and had a fisticuff
with him. Leahy's face was consid-
erably scratched and the policeman
received black eye. Charges will be
preferred against the two officers to-
day.
